  • Episode Six see's us starting our journey home with the first day riding from Nairn holiday park to a travelodge in Gateshead. The enjoyable part of this ride was the fact that we set the route to travel all the way through the Cairngorms.
    We stop for a break in the beautiful Braemar and carry on past Glen Shee ski centre and have another stop earlier at a quite stunning viewpoint.
    A little info on said viewpoint
    The Chris Brammall team fabricated and installed four specially commissioned corten steel and Scottish Larch sculptural seats, called The Watchers at Corgarff, in the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland on the infamous A939 Lecht Road which, at 637m above sea level, is regularly the first road in Britain to be closed by snow...
    This will be last episode in this particular series and if you have enjoyed it please spread the word to other bikers you think may enjoy them too.
    Thanks for watching and please ride safe everyone.

For me this was the best one, when we did the NC500 we went anti clockwise on your advise, Blackpool to Inverness 390 miles and Rain from start to finish, so when we got to Perth, we took the A9 to Inverness, consequently, I never saw the Cairngorms........ but Now I have.... as you said, spectacular wowser wowser wowser.

    Well big man once again thank you for episode 6 really enjoyed it.Home from our European trip on the 16th last and it was fantastic 3200 miles in 14 days on the road.
    Bavaria, Austria and Northern Italy absolutely stunning.Biker heaven.
    Homeward bound from the French Riviera to Cherbourg was fantastic but the toll roads are a killer, really get the arm into you.Anyway sorry we are not as high tech as your good self so no videos to share.
    Next year's ride is already in the planning and it's the wild Atlantic way here in Ireland.Needless to say Scotland is now firmly on the bucket list.
    Cheers mate really enjoyed your Scottish Odyssey.

    For a future trip a possible change on the route would be to take a left turn to Ballatar instead of right to Braemar. At Ballater cross the Dee and take the B976 along Souith Deeside to Whitestone or Strachan then turn south to the B974 to Cairn O' Mount. Good stops are either at the Cairn at the top or the viewpoint a short distance past it. Some really beautiful views there and a great biking road to get there. At the bottom there is the Clatterin Brig restuarant for a break before heading to Fettercairn then Edzell then back onto the A90 to head south. I like to ride this route as part of a days run from Dundee to Braemar then east along south Deeside before crossing the Cairn O' Mount on the way home.

They are so well put together with road numbers, place names and even some history thrown in from time to time. The laid back approach to great mates having a great holiday together is sadly lacking in some other travelers videos. As I have said before I love Scotland and riding there or watching others ride there is good for the soul. Thanks for all of the hard work that goes into these very enjoyable travels.

    Cracking video as usual Steve. Caravan site electrics work on a lower amperage of 10amps compared to household amps of 13i think that's why battery took so long to charge !!! Haste you back to our bonny country next year !!!

    • @Steve-Clark
      @Steve-Clark  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for that Tam at last someone has thrown some light on the reason the batteries took so long to charge cheers.

    • @JimGDMAC
      @JimGDMAC ปีที่แล้ว

      The maximum 10A current in caravans is only the current when the circuit breaker cuts and has no effect on the charger. The usual USB charger for cameras only takes a very low current from the supply so isn't affected by the max 10A supply, only things like electric heaters or kettles can be affected as they could trip the breaker. I can't see how the caravan supply is likely to affect the charging time as this is determined by the charger's output not the input unless the mains voltage has dropped way below the 230V it should be, this would however affect every other electrical appliance in the caravan. Similarly if the camera is showing that it is fully charged then the run time should not be lower than normal.

    I've enjoyed this series more than Disney SheHulk, I presume you get paid more. I've liked it so much, I've booked to go up the end of September, I will take my weatherproof. I think you should teach one of the lads the drone, so it can follow you at times. I like your soft common sense riding manner, and you are a role model to me.

    Steve (and the team) we have thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Haven’t commented on each video (just one other) but it has been a pleasure to watch. We felt your disappointment and that was definitely in your voice at the start of the video (not a criticism) and we understand that, but by 1m 20s the ride and scenery took that away. You rose (or rode 😁) above it Steve. That journey up the mountain at 5m 20s was just beautiful.

If I do my tour in one hit it would be nearly 2500 miles starting near Reading to Lowestoft Ness, Dunnet Head, Ardnamurchan Point and back down to Lizard Point the four extreme points of mainland UK.
